Vintage fashion trend

Not in a million years would I think there would ever come a time where people could wear the clothes our grannies used to wear back in the day. I remember, growing up as I would browse through my granny's old pictures and I would just be like “what on earth were you wearing, I’m glad that fashion has evolved because your fashion sense sucked". Little did I know that I would be in the year of 2015, where the clothes I used to mock are the "in thing". 

Vintage clothing has made a comeback as a trend among young people and I have based my last feature package on the fashion sense trend.

Basically, the inspiration behind me choosing this topic is because almost every day I am surrounded by people wearing vintage clothing around campus. As versatile as City Campus is, this style of clothing is trending among students. So the main question here is “Are young people pulling off the vintage look better than the previous generation?”- Well the documentary and the crowd source opinions will help shed light on this.

By the way, choosing this topic was not as easy- even though the inspiration was right in front of my eyes. With this being the last assignment and all, I wanted to exit New Media with a bang! Yes, a bang because I did quite well in the previous assignment and this time I aimed to do better in every aspect. I noticed all the minor errors I did in the previous documentary and all I wanted to do was correct all those mistakes.

Okay, this was my initial thought but as always there are mishaps by the way. Well, I own my personal video camera so usually I do not get frustrated in terms of booking equipment and everything. This time was quite different, I discovered that my camera doesn't work- for reasons not known to me. I had to borrow the school camera and as I was shooting I discovered that the battery was low and that led to me having to cancel the shoot.

In terms of the shoot, the sequence was quite simple- taking a few shots of people on campus wearing vintage clothes, take a few shots at a vintage store ( to witness the reasonable prices) and getting at least one interview. This initial sequence of events was simple and straight to the point with no exaggeration but I had to change everything in terms of sequences but the ideology is still the same. I did not get a change to shoot at the vintage store because they refused.

All in all, as challenging as it was- it was interesting and YES I now have interest in vintage clothing and seeing how reasonable the prices are, I’m going vintage. Who knew an assignment would be such an eye-opener in terms of my fashion sense? Well now I do. That’s it for New Media 3- it’s been real.
